Cori Alexander


Corinne Renae Alexander (born May 6, 1985 in Martinez, California) is an American soccer goalkeeper and artistic photographer.

Alexander had a standout career at the University of Portland from 2003 through 2006, where she backstopped the Pilots to the 2005 NCAA Division I national championship, capping off an undefeated season. She saved two penalty kicks in the penalty shootout of the semifinal match against Penn State; that performance helped to name her the NCAA tournament's Defensive Most Valuable Player.

At Portland, she became the program's all-time leader in saves with 263, shutouts with 39, and finished with a 0.59 goals-against average, which is fifth in program history, earning All-American status.

After leaving Portland, Alexander moved on to the W-League, where she played for the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2007 and the Seattle Sounders in 2008.

On October 6, 2008, she was drafted in the first round (seventh overall) by Sky Blue FC in the 2008 WPS General Draft. She remained on the roster for Sky Blue in WPS throughout the 2009 season, earning a winner's medal for the inaugural WPS Championship.
